I’m certainly happiest when I’m busy busy busy! This past week was particularly hectic for me with loads of work and late nights. I love it, but the long hours started to take their toll, and I felt the onset of a cold coming along. When I’m not feeling 100% I crave something warm and comforting, but nutritious at the same time to speed up my recovery.

This soup is exactly what I needed! Full of veggies and so satisfying! Roasting the vegetables deepens their flavours, and brings out their natural sweetness as they caramelise. …

I can’t believe we’re in the first week of March already! It’s officially summer in the Philippines, and accordingly, it has been another scorcher of a week. I love it! When I’ve been out in this hot weather I really look forward to eating something light and fresh. Quinoa is perfect as it’s fluffy and very satisfying, but doesn’t leave me feeling heavy. It’s also a great source of complete plant protein as it contains all nine essential amino acids….

Most of my friends know that I’m a huge fan of curry. From Indian, to Japanese, to Thai – they are packed full of flavour and so satisfying! When I lived in the UK I often cooked with lentils, but I’ve found them to be scarce here in Manila. Thankfully, I stumbled upon the amazing mongo (mung) bean. If you cook them long enough, they’ve got that similar creamy texture to lentils, and just melt in your mouth. Not only are they delicious, but they also pack quite a punch nutritionally. They’re a great source of vegetable protein, as well as being high in fibre, low in sodium, and have no saturated fat….

I love it when I wake up in the morning and remember that I’ve prepared a cheeky pot of goodness in the fridge! Overnight oats are an ideal way to start your day, especially if you’re short for time in the morning. Once you’re in the routine of making these you’ll have no excuse to skip breakfast, in fact I guarantee you’ll be looking forward to it!…
